I am among the 15% of women who edit Wikipedia. My primary contributions are original biographies of Catholic sisters, early women MDs, women in silent film, and other notable women, although I've written some biographies for men, too. I'm an active member of WikiProject Women in Religion, and the group has given presentations on feminist Wikipedia editing at the American Academy of Religion, Yale Divinity School and library, and Wikipedia conferences. I tag all of my women's biographies with Women in Red. I live in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, DC, work at its university, and attend mass at a nuns' monastery that was founded in 1795. Author of three books, co-editor of three more (two with a Jesuit), and facilitator of others' writing.
Certain aspects of early Hollywood history related to a late and dear friend Vera Gebbert who lived there from her birth in 1916 to 1947, when she left to be a playwright in New York.
